Anthropogenic activity is driving population declines and extinctions of large-bodied, fruit-
eating animals worldwide. Loss of these frugivores is expected to trigger negative cascading …

Optimal foraging theory predicts that predators are selective when faced with abundant prey,
but become less picky when prey gets sparse. Insectivorous bats in temperate regions are …

Seed dispersal constitutes a pivotal process in an increasingly fragmented world, promoting
population connectivity, colonization and range shifts in plants. Unveiling how multiple …

Using multiple knowledge sources to interpret patterns of biodiversity can generate the
comprehensive species characterizations that are required for effective conservation …

Noninvasive genetics based on microsatellite markers has become an indispensable tool for
wildlife monitoring and conservation research over the past decades. However …

The species Bifidobacterium longum currently comprises four subspecies: B. longum subsp.
longum, B. longum subsp. infantis, B. longum subsp. suis and B. longum subsp. suillum …

Monitoring population size and growth over time is vital for the conservation of endangered
species. Mountain gorillas Gorilla beringei beringei remain in two small populations that …

Noninvasive genoty** methods have become key elements of wildlife research over the
last two decades, but their widespread adoption is limited by high costs, low success rates …

Social networks are the result of interactions between individuals at different temporal
scales. Thus, sporadic intergroup encounters and individual forays play a central role in …

Landscape genetic analyses are typically conducted at one spatial scale. Considering
